你可以将这些碎片随意拼凑，但在核心上，吸血鬼故事是在询问我们，如果你可以长生不死，你愿意放弃你人性的哪一部分。

You can move the pieces around, but at the core, the vampire story asks what part of your humanity you would be trading away if you lived forever.

然后我们就要问，永生不死真的是好的吗？

And then we're going to turn to the question, is it really true that immortality would be good?

youdao

如果说这些精灵族并不是真的不死的种族，那么他们也是比一定会死去的人类、即使是我们九十岁的国王，活得长得多的种族。

If the Fair Folk are not actually deathless, they are certainly much longer-lived than any mortal man, even our nonagenarian king.

youdao

We certainly wouldn't have any grounds to conclude my heart is immortal, will exist forever.

我们没有任何理论根据,来断言心脏是不死的,并且将会永存
